Best Budget Travel Rod? | Bonus PB catch!!

Spring Fishing is here! Perfect timing to test out this new Telescope budget combo from Walmart. Ozartrail is Walmart's brand and for 20$ this peaked my interest not only for maybe a beginner getting into the sport but also for portability sake. Let's take a look and see what 20$ can bring you on the water!
Here is the Walmart combo from in store:

My buddy bought one and put on the new OTX 3000 spinning reel and now that’s the only combo he keeps in his car.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Heck yeah nice! Always good to have something ready to go! Thanks for watching and the support!

[@NorthwestOpenSeason]

Pretty cool review. Used to have a couple telescopic rods for backpacking about 20 years ago, and I’ve been thinking about getting another one to keep in the truck. You know, for fishing emergencies.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching

[@13outdoors47]

That was a football 🏈 of a smalley 😅

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Was a fun surprise for sure. Thanks for watching and the support!

[@R-TrainExpress]

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Awesome got to love that! Thanks for watching and the support

[@FishingThePNW]

Dude! The tone of disbelief in your voice was priceless haha! Congrats on the PB smallie! Now it's time for you to double that in the next couple months!

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Thanks dude! Haha yeah completely did not expect it haha. Cannot wait for April

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Have some killer new areas to fish up here I’m extremely excited

[@TragicSolutions]

Brooooo I wanna buy that rod now I love ur content! Love the fish Bro keep it up

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Thank you for watching and the support!!

[@matthewmercer1667]

I just bought one I am a beginner and trying to set it up can you show me how to feed the line through and tie on the hook?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

I’m working on a full basic fishing setup video and absolutely will show this.

[@itstreyfilms_yt5551]

im new to fishing and i have one of these do you think i need to switch the line to a heavier one then the orignal because i stay in los angeles so i mainly fish of the pier or small ponds but i dont know if the line is strong enough

[@havnt3782]

love the salmon steelheading stuff this is a good way to break the mainstream gl

[@randallpinkfloyd7225]

Cheap rod, cheap reel, cheap line and cheap lure.....don't you just love it when a plan comes together!

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching

[@haydenmorency9633]

nice fish

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Thank you

[@kyleoden3015]

You think it would work for steelhead? I would love a solid telescopic rod to make carrying multiple rod setups simpler.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Great question! To be honest you probably could land a steelhead on one but I would not try it just due to how cheap the components are. I have been looking at a few higher end telescope rods that I’m looking to do a video on

[@kyleoden3015]

@@HolyMolyOutdoors ended up doing some research and I'm going to get a kastking Blackhawk 2. That thing is a tank.

[@dagoofy_kid9279]

I have that ugly stick gx2 and the Rod u used in this video

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Right on! Thanks for watching and the support

[@prepperelite3206]

Just a heads up. I was wondering why weren’t posting so looked you up and noticed I was no longer subscribed and my notifications were not on

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Appreciate the heads up! Weird that would happen

[@noah_akers1]

You could probably reel in a 5-6-7 pound catfish on there if you're careful

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Absolutely don’t doubt that at all. Works pretty well for the price! I still use it as a back up and always have it in the truck

[@noah_akers1]

@@HolyMolyOutdoors would the reel work in saltwater

[@jonbonynge4072]

Life is to short to shop at Wally World 😁

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Haha this is true

[@timothyscott3116]

How many times have you used that combo and how has it held up??

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

I have been making it a point to have with me each trip to really test it. Been fished with at least a dozen times and held up better than I thought it would. Caught a dozen stocker trout catch and release just the other day. The only thing I’d say is the telescope connections get a little loose but over all the small mouth, trout and a largie have all held up. I’m definitely going to test it to the max on pink salmon this fall

[@timothyscott3116]

Thanks for your time and response.. In your opinion do you think the rod and reel would last at least a season? thanks man :)

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

@@timothyscott3116 it just might! I’m going to be putting it through some hard knocks here this month and will have an update video to showcase

[@thedestroyer3879]

How is it holding up?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

So far so good! Have caught the smallmouth, couple trout and a largemouth without any issues at this point. Definitely have got it’s money’s worth on it
